As I said yesterday, I did go to golf town and bought a new 56 degree 11 degree bounce Titleist Vokey wedge.  I went with the SM2 not the SM4.  For the $40 difference, I can live with the reality that it may be illegal in 2020.  Until then, I am good to go!

One interesting thing happened while in the golf store.  As usual, I went to the putting green (artificial) and tried all the new putters.  I tried the New Odessey putter, Callaway, Nike, Titleist, Scott Cameron, and others.  The prices ranged from $350 to $75.  You know what I found, I putted the exact same way with each putter.

I used a mallet, blade, offset, goof heads, traditional heads….they were all the same.  So it started me thinking and I decided that I did not need to buy a new putter.  I bought a new putter grip for $8.  I figure that my old “Billy Beru” will do just fine for another year.

The point about my story is that new equipment is not always the answer.  Sometimes it is important to purchase new technology, but really, how much does it change from year to year.  That answer is really up to you!

So, did anyone buy new equipment this year?  If you did, what do you hope it helps improve in your game?

Well, see you on the links!
